I have been told several times that just the fact that it was in a 911 proves I was looking for an audience. The car gets no credit for being comfortable and economical to drive and insure. It is looked at as strictly a speed demon.

It's a good thing I'm not the attorney. I would put the cop on the stand and ask him how many 3.2L 911's he has owned. I'd go through a list of stock vs. modifications that can be made and ask him to find them on my car. When he finds my car in near the same condition it was in when it left Stuttgart in 1987. I'd then ask him for his check book and a check for $26,000 and offer him the keys and tell him to "burn rubber". I would follow that up with "how stupid are you". and "Do you really thin I am that stupid." If unfazed I'd put up side by side pictures of me and OJ. Then some smart *** comment would come out like we may have been created equal, but I can't run and I ain't kill nobody so I ain't your criminal. Now go out and find a real criminal when you're done with that donut!

LOL, you guys are great! Actually that picture was totally staged, for your (our) amusement - should be obvious with the difference in track between the rubber marks and Teo's 911..

I believe we sent Teo a similar picture before he picked up the car, to show how well the car was running, lol. (We certainly wouldn't do that for real in a client's car.)

BTW, those marks were made by some huge Mercedes - an E55 or 500 or something - a friend of the property owner. He actually does that on a regular basis...

Doesn't mean a 911 cant do it, just maybe not that one.

Johnny Cochran when he was alive: "if it doesn't fit, you must aquit"

Johnny Cochran in the afterlife: "if Doug's tires weren't lit, you must aquit"

Oh yeah! If that isn't Doug's new quote of the week I don't know what will be!

ha ha ha....well if anyone wants to claim to be able to do a big smoky burnout in a 911, I'll buy a ticket to watch and cheer you on.

But first, call Jackie Chiles "if the tire don't slip, you must acquit" (posted in the other Doug Bray burn rubber thread)....

Doug, you need a Lawyer. We are all monkeys doing brain surgury here, but if you walk into court with an attitude, Judge Judy will rip you a new one, cause she's heard it all before.

Besides, I have read an account of the way you drive. If you aren't guilty of this, then you certainly are guilty of something similar X 100.

You need a lawyer who specializes in this. 90 days is a lot of time. You don't even want this on your record.
